We are delighted to announce that Bluebird Care have been selected as a finalist in the bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year category of the bfa HSBC Franchise Awards, 2017.
The bfa HSBC Franchise Awards recognises the franchise industry’s leading brands, with the Franchisor of the Year category being described as an award that “highlights the UK’s most exceptional franchisors that are driving business success through best practice, innovative strategies and building strong brands”.
In order to be selected as a finalist in the bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Award the judges were looking for those franchisors that could demonstrate they represent consistency and excellence in franchising. Finalists within this category had to show passion and commitment to ethical franchising as well as demonstrating strong support to the network.
We entered this particular category to demonstrate our commitment to people and technology within the franchising industry. Over the last year we have developed new technologies within the care sector and created a number of new initiatives, raising awareness of industry related issues and ensuring our franchisees and their teams are recognised for their dedication, hard work and commitment through our own Franchise of the Year Awards and Bluebird Care Awards respectively.
Duncan Berry, chief operating officer of Bluebird Care, commented:
“We are thrilled to be selected as a finalist in the bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year category. We believe that our award entry demonstrates our commitment to develop as a franchisor whilst driving the success of the brand through the support that we provide to our franchisees.”
